Sexual Health: After I work out, I am really sweaty down below. What gives?

After I work out, I am really sweaty down below. What gives?

Your crotch and butt crack are loaded with sweat glands, so the more turbocharged your gym session is, the damper you'll feel below the belt. Though you can't turn off the perspiration, you'll feel a lot more comfortable if you wear underwear and workout clothes made from 100 percent cotton, which lets air circulate, says Machelle Allen, MD, assistant professor of ob-gyn at New York University School of Medicine. And since microbes that thrive in sweat can trigger butt breakouts and yeast infections, take a shower and wash wet gear after each use.
